About NATINFo+
NATINFo+ is an example of a client application that can be used to search for and consult offences in the NATINF nomenclature via the NATINFo API (https://codeberg.org/retiolus/natinfo).
What does ‘NATINF’ mean?
‘NATINF is the nomenclature of French offences (NATure d'INFraction). This nomenclature is defined by the French Ministry of Justice. It is used by all legal services and government departments, in particular to record proceedings, monitor statistics, etc.’ - justice.gouv.fr
Features
The application lets you search for an offence by NATINF number, title, article of law, code, etc., and consult all the information using the NATINFo API.
Its main advantage over the natinfo.app site is that it downloads all the available data on the first launch and stores it locally. This means you can consult it offline - with the added bonus of faster display times. The data is then kept up to date automatically when the connection is active.
The app is also customisable: light or dark theme, badge colour (fince/offence/crime), it provides a history of NATINF consultations and favourites management for quicker retrieval, and offers practical tools for calculating blood alcohol content, speed and locating road points.
What's new in 1.14.0
v1.14.0 - The downloaded database now updates itself. - Fixed fines shown above the penalties. - Search adapted to the new API: the full entry loads when opened.
